Someday, you might want to make a computer could not be turned off easily. For example because you are running a program that need a long time to wait ( download a big file, rendering a video, etc ). And you have to leave the room. To prevent a friend or anyone else to turn off the computer, then one way is to disable the function of Shutdown, Restart, Sleep or Hibernate menu.

• Click OK or hit  Enter, it will show the Local Group Policy Editor
• Go to User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Start Menu And Taskbar
• For Windows 7, in the right pane,  find the Remove and Prevent Access to the shutdown, Restart, Sleep, and Hibernate. Then double click on it

Remove and Prevent Access to the shutdown (Windows 7)
• For Windows XP, on the right pane,  find the  Remove and Prevent access to the Shut Down command. Then double click on it

• See the result. We can't  Shutdown, Restart, Sleep, Hibernate anymore, and neither when you press Ctrl + Alt + Del,  these functions are disable.

• To make it back in to the normal function, just follow all the steps above, except for the last one, you need to change back the option from Enable to Disable.

• When being in a state of disable, in fact we can still shutdown the computer. the way is by typing the instructions in the search (Windows 7) or in  the RUN command (windows XP ).

After that, then it continues to loading Windows. After I googling about the problem, I am not only the one, other people also have the similar problem with their laptops. The cause is in the Ultra Low Power State (ULPS) system. ULPS is a feature or mode in hardware (graphics card) designed to save power by reducing energy consumption to very low levels.
